Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Ciarán Seoighe:
The 15-second answer is similar to Mr. Brown's answer. We also put the fees in but we know that the PhD stipend is a real issue so if there was an option to use the fees instead for the PhD stipend, to increase that and bring it closer to the cost of living, that would be a real benefit to PhD students.
